of us. >> reporter: dr. roy is an engineer by training, but the project brought together cell biologists, material scientists, engineers and practicing physicians. >> by finding these right people together i think we can sort of take out these traditional ways of doing academic research in silos, but saying lets put our arms together and brains together and solve the problem collectively and for a project like this you absolutely need that to succeed. >> reporter: it's the same collaborative approach that scott johnson's myelin repair foundation is promoting teams of scientists working collaboratively to achieve common goal changing the model for how research works and solving the problem of multiple sclerosis that's challenged him for 34 years. >> and to be able to prevent others from going through that is something i'd like to do. but probably on a larger scale it's really about this model because i think that this model can be applied to any disease research. >> reporter: and of course there's no shortage

she was released after using her mother's house as bail. and i'm joined by haleh esfandiari, the director of the middle east program at the woodrow wilson international center for scholars. and karim sadjadpour, an associate at the carnegie endowment for international - elcome to both you. kareem, starting with you, what's known about what led to the release today? >> i think a few points worth mentioning. first is that there's no evidence against these three young hikers. the iranian government detained them august of 2009. they stopped interrogating them a couple months after their detention so i think when you talk to people connected to their lawyers in tehran, it's clear that the government didn't have any evidence against them. second, she has a health concern. she found a lump on her breast. i think the regime certainly didn't want to be put in a position where they would be responsible for her health. i'm not convinced that president ahmadinejad was responsible for her release, but i am convinced he will take credit for her release

he joins us from pittsburgh. i ben welcome, thanks for joining us. 1.4 billion is a lot of money and what's been tough times for the airlines, why is southwest doing this, what is driving this? >> there are ray couple of things. first of all, as you mentioned sot west has been at there for a while now. while they were the scrappy upstart in the '80s and even into the 9 0s. their business model is pretty mature at this point and there aren't many misses left for them to expand that are flarl fits are for their business model. one of the best cities and the biggest one they don't yet fly to is atlanta so it's no coincidence that air tran, biggest city is atlanta and this will put southwest into atlanta in a big way. and it really positions southwest to go back to a position of growth by acquiring air tran and eventually incorporating if into its network. >> and there are roar cities that right now southwest isn't in, aren't there sm. >> there are about 37 that air tran flies to that southwest doesn't go to. so sout

what does history tell us? >> i think there is some concern about donor fatigue for a couple of reasons. one because the economy is, you know, weaker than it has been at other times. on the other hand, we saw disaster relief giving for haiti turn out to be quite strong. quite sustained for many months. so that doesn't tell the whole story. i mean i think that's part of it. in fact, perhaps some of the haiti relief giving is part of the donor fatigue. on the other hand, i think that general when americans give, the average gift has ranged between $125 and $135 per household for different disasters. so the gifts tend to be relatively small. a lot of people giving a relatively small amount. in fact the gift for all the disasters we've track has been $are 50. you know that most people can spend $50 in a lot of different ways so it's not as if people are refinancing their house in order to give these disaster relief gifts. that's not to disparage those gifts. it's just to say that they're relatively small amounts. f

most still tell us they approve of obama. most think the health care bill was the right thing to do. more tell us his policies are helping the economy than hurting it. so this isn't a disillusionment with obama that's... or the democratic party that's driving this. i think it's just a sense that this election the case hasn't been made this election is really important to younger voters yet. they don't say it at the same rate older folks do. >> woodruff: liz murphy, how would you respond to that? how important do you think young people see this election? and how do they respond to the president's admonition yesterday that young people need to understand it's important and he said in that interview with "rolling stone," inexcusable to sit this election out. >> i think it's unfortunate, but at least at penn state's campus there isn't this huge feeling that people need to head out and hit the polls and, you know, make their voice heard and vote. in 2008, there were two-hour wait lines to vote when obama came to speak it was like
